About Sarsden Glebe

The house (not open) was built of Bath stone in 1820 and extended in 1835 as the rector by then had 11 staff living in, and 10 children. Many of the trees in the garden and front field are likely to have been planted by Humphrey Repton and his sons as part of his celebrated landscaping. The gardens also feature two Repton-inspired romantic thatched huts and, season permitting, a sea of blue and white anemone blanda interspersed with fritillaries and daffodils. Dora, Daphne and Dolores live noisily in the orchard next door (pigs) and there is a restored dovecote and ice-house in the farmyard. There are also two outside loos, one with a beautiful cool wood seat. The old-fashioned kitchen garden combines fruit and vegetables and, come the summer, flowers.
Homemade teas provided by Thrive North Oxfordshire. Plant stall.

Wild garden with a sea of blue and white anemone blanda interspersed with fritillaries and daffodils in spring.
